The wind flapped loose, the wind was still,
shaken out dead from the tree and hill;
I had walked on at the wind's will--
I sat now, for the wind was still.

Between my knees my forehead was--
My lips, drawn in, said not Alas!
My hair was over in the grass,
My naked ears heard the day pass.

My eyes, wide open, had the run
Of some ten weeds to fix upon;
Among those few, out of the sun,
the woodspurge flowered, three cups in one.

From perfect grief ther nee not be
Wisdom or even memory;
One things then learned remains to me--
The woodspurge has a cup of three.

-Dante Gabriel Rossetti

I fell in love with this poem almost immidiately a few nights ago and i wanted to share it. I immeadiately related to every part of it and it just warmed me up. please enjoy it.

I got a new camera courrtesy of my Father. he's a gem! anyhow, back to Canon i went and i am SO glad to be back. no offence, Nikon, but you're just not my cup of tea. With my new camera came the standard lense AND a 55mm macro. It was such a good deal. I immediately went out and babies it with a gorgeous new case...made by Nikon...a tad bit paradoxal, but the case is wonderful and it was the only one that had room from two lenses and excess padding.  I promise, now that i have a camera and a sweet lense, i will take more pictures. i have no excuse at all.

Today i decided that next year for spring break i am going to spain with the school trip. its going to be a HOOT. Boyfriend will probably be going on the same trip, so it will be automatically an amazing time. Im going to try and pay for it all myself, so i had better start saving. My fanancial state right now it completely stable though. i have a good safe amount of spending money and more then enough to pay for car insurance at the end of ths month. yay for good paying jobs!!

I got an aquarium for my birthday and i have two little baby calico fishies named Captain Jack and Jolly Roger. (jack and roger) theyre pretty adorable and they havn't dies yet! i was pretty surprised when i walked into the pet store and found out that i could own lif for less then four dollars, who would have thought right? four bucks and i have something that depends on me and something that i can name and watch grow and hopefully not kill.  what a wonderful world we live in.

thats it, thats all.
have a good day.
